|| Shri Swami Samarth ||
After leaving Mangalvedha, Shri Swami Samarth first went to Pandharpur, and to Mahol. It was the monsoon season, and the Bhima river, which flows between the two towns, was flooded. The boat service that ran between the two villages was not operational.
Shri Swami Samarth began crossing the flooded river and the river water subsided to knee height till Maharaj had crossed over. The people of Mahol saw this miracle.
Rajashri Ganesh Hari Sohni was the collector at Mahol. Shri Swami stayed at his residence.
Gaveswamy was a lingayat sadhu at Mahol. He was 125 years old. It is said that when he used to meditate in solitude, his asana levitated one to two feet above the ground. An adept master, he could speak of the past, present, and future.
Once Shri Swami Samarth and Gaveswamy spoke in private and after that, he gave up yoga sadhana and began interacting with the world. Shri Samarth used to visit his math once in a while. Many days after Shri Samarth went to Akkalkot, Gaveswamy entered the Samadhi state.
At Mahol, koshti man began troubling Shri Swami Samarth, "Show me, Brahman, Show me, Brahman." Maharaj tried to shoo him away but he would not listen.
Finally, Maharaj took him to the Nagnath mandir at Mahol, and said to him, "Look at Brahman." As soon as He uttered these words, the koshti began seeing snakes everywhere. He lost his mind and for many days he started behaving like a madman. After that incident, Gaveswamy interceded on this behalf with Shri Swami Samarth, who in answer to his prayers, brought the koshti back to normalcy.
